Our stay GDL was average… Really thought I should be able to get a coffee and breakfast item at the lobby… our tours were scheduled to leave early morning and no breakfast or coffee was available… with the rates we paid that was a disappointment. The room was clean and very pleasant We had dinner at the restaurant and our meals were delicious and well above our expectations.. Colin was our waiter and was outstanding . We had a small hiccup in our room and Paul from maintenance was very punctual and pleasant had us up and running very quickly Front desk manager was a 10 she was sooo helpful and went above and beyond helping us get checked in Im being honest and taking the time to fill out the survey I’m also in business and the only way to improve is to be aware of issues that arise Thanks Keith Meyer 402 560 2107

Information regarding the shuttle services as not clear. I was told K2 avaition had a pickup at the hotel (not true). Also, the bus to the railroad was a different bus (large motor coach) than the regular shuttle, with no placard telling riders this - several of us almost didn't get on because we were waiting for the smaller shuttle with the Grande Denali name on it. We thought the large motor coach was a private tour.

Basic room updated quiet and clean, staff were very friendly and helpful. This hotel did not provide daily housekeeping. Nice views. Hotel sits on a bluff above the town, a car was helpful but transportation is available. Coffee bar in the lobby had snacks and pleasant staff. For dinner I would not recommend the onsite restaurant, food quality doesn’t match prices.

Denali - [ ] Check-in was quick - The view was fantastic! - [ ] Con: At check-in time, directions were rattled off quickly of tags for bags going to train, so asked for repeat. - [ ] Con: no additional information given or a sheet about anything. Would have been helpful to know there are walking trails to get down to bluffs and gas station area if you want or if you miss a shuttle - [ ] Shuttle schedule was nice to get to Denali Visitor Center or Shopping area at the bottom of the hill. CON: Schedule was not pointed out until we asked - [ ] No information about anything was in the room or handed to us etc. Shuttle schedule, restaurant hours, times for buying drinks/ food in their lobby or any helpful information about the area. - [ ] Restaurant was open until 10 PM. We arrived in the restaurant at 9:40– First we were told we would have to sit at the bar. Then another girl said we could sit at the table with the view. View was great, would have been beer

Older building but they've done a nice job trying to keep it updated. They get bus loads of tourists so check in could be tricky. Restaurants over priced compared to places down off the highway with less options and lower quality food so if you have a car drive two minutes away.

No laundry service, no elevator service , cable service not reliable and when I encountered about an upgrade or a view I was told it would be an additional 50$. Standard room already 260$. Complete misrepresentation…so tell me what is the value of the dollar?

I was dissapointed that the view from the room was a parking lot. I tried to change rooms but was told nothing was available with a view except for an ADA room. The walls were very thin and the room was noisy. The people above us sounded like a herd of elephants tromping back and forth. The hotel shuttle was great.

So so place for the money

The place was clean and comfortable but had no frills. No cart to wheel your luggae in and had to wheel luggage thru gravel to get in building. Witteness an elderly couple having trouble getting in building due to man being in wheel chair and gravel. Customer service was like talking to robots gave information but not friendly. Even though the room was expensive everything was for a fee. No coffee in lounge or water. And on the check out day they were in a hurry for you to leave. They were knocking at your door by 8:00 in the morning and if you didnt answer right away they opened your door. There was no soap and very little shampoo in our bathroom.
